took the car off the trailer... drove it for maybe two mins... parked it in the shop
been redoing the horrible wiring, fuel lines ect.
on my days off i've been driving down to work on the car with the owner of the shop
car seemed alright on two short drives.
rhe car has been parked inside a heated shop
i never check the res. before i bought it .. i trusted the guy! but he was hurring us to get the car loaded onto the trailer, and i should have known when he didn't even count the 26k cash... because he was in a hurry
Arn't there some kind of Lemon laws that can protect you in this situation?
and what a suprize the guy still wont answer his phone
Nope unfortunately he bought it as-is...gl op in finding out your problem, ppl are so dishonest it makes you sick...
once the supercharger is off... say we can even weld the ic, or put a new gasket on to fix whatever issue that might be...
how do i know if the engine is hurt or not. at this point almost smarter to just take the engine out! dont you think?

I feel your pain.....
Evil, Bro I don't know what recourse you have as it was probably an" as is sale", I would do like what Posi said and pull the blower and check the intercooler for damage, Then I would run oil and run some heavy grade so it sticks on the bearings more instead of washing down right away and everything should be ok as long as nothing Hydra locked, I had a 1970 stage1 have this happen and caused a $7000 motor to be built as the stock # matching was shot beyond repair. The problem with a car of this magnitude is who do you have check it as it is beyond a street car setup, this is why I stayed away from these type of cars when I looked as I can add the stuff and know what I got in her, but I know what you wanted and it hurts to see you find a carand it turn out to be a whats next one. Talk to Bob about when he tuned it and ask him if there was anything peculiar about the setup when he tuned it.

No offence OP but when you see a car with mods like the ones on this car and see the a pic with the front tires in the air its clear the car has been drove hard. It sucks this happend and I hope you get in contact with the seller and get something resolved. My suggestion is to take the blower off, check the intercooler and see if its cracked and check the seals on the IC tubes. Hopefully its a simple fix. Take pictures and show your findings to the seller(not sure if it will help). If its something as simple as a $5 seal or a $300 IC maybe the seller will split the cost with you? (I think he has the cash :rollseyes) Its worth a shot. But my advice is to be nice about it. Being a jerk about things these days gets you nowhere.
Implied Warranty of Merchantability
"... a buyer can sue a seller for breaching the implied warranty by selling goods unfit for their ordinary purpose."
There is more to it but this guy who sold you this car man knew there was something seriously wrong with this car!!

OP try & call with someone elses phone. sometimes caller id is a biatch.. If you get a hold of him I'd see if he'd at least pony up the cash to buy the parts.
Killersvt: think that pic is of his torch red. i've seen him race that one at cedar falls raceway

Evil, the damaged intercoolers that I have seen where all able to be repaired. But, two of the fellas just ended up buying new ones for security. Cost maybe $600 or so from Tousley.
Generally, you should not need to pull the motor. Get the intercooler repaired (if that's the problem.....), then change the oil at least 3 times with idling sessions in between to get all that crap out of there. Jake has since run 9's with his motor after this happened and Sprayed Daily ran 10.30's with his.
